NATO countries have kicked off Arctic military exercise named ‘Arctic Challenge 2023’ with a pledge to defend their newest member, Finland, which is hosting its first joint training since becoming part of the NATO in April.
Nearly 1,000 allied forces from Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States - as well as NATO applicant Sweden - have joined approximately 6,500 Finnish troops and some 1,000 vehicles for exercises this week, which mark Finland’s biggest modern-time land-force drill above the Arctic Circle.
While this is not a NATO event, the alliance will be participating along with 14 different countries.
The Arctic Challenge exercise was launched in 2013 and is held every second year.
The ACE is part of the NORDEFCO cooperation between Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
This major Nordic exercise started as a collaboration launched in 2008 called Cross Border Training.
In a dramatic move to end two years of bloodshed, U.S. officials shared a proposed ceasefire plan during closed-door talks in Paris. The deal would freeze the Russia-Ukraine war in place, allowing Moscow to keep occupied territories—for now. Ukraine’s NATO aspirations would be paused, and sanctions on Russia could be gradually lifted if peace holds. In return, Russia must end all military operations. The U.S. plan includes peacekeeping forces, ceasefire monitors, and postwar security guarantees for Ukraine. But critics say the cost of peace may be territorial compromise.
